“Keep Moving!”

The Cardboard Regatta is just one of many fitness activities organized by Well-Spring’s dedicated wellness director

Robin McCloskey, Director of Wellness at Well-Spring, epitomizes energy and fitness. She has been part of the fitness world her entire adult life. “Keep moving” is not just her mantra; it’s a philosophical outlook and way of life for her – both professionally and personally.

A fitness instructor and personal trainer, Robin is much more than that to Well-Spring residents. For many, she is a source or inspiration and aspiration in taking care of themselves physically, making the most of their lives in retirement.

Robin came to WellSpring after a friend told her about the position. She was taking care of her young son and felt a full-time routine would help her manage things. When Robin was hired in 2017, she was called to start work a bit earlier than scheduled as her predecessor was having a baby long before the expected due date. As such, Robin never skipped a beat and eased right into teaching.

“I just needed to know how to turn on the speakers and lights – that’s it,” she recalls.

After a few months in and teaching more than 20 classes a week, resident visits to the Aquatic & Fitness Center doubled. Something Robin learned early in her new role keeps her focused: “This is their home I

am working in, and that thought is always with me when I’m here.”

Recently, Robin donned her captain’s hat and wielded a clipboard while directing teams to their starting point at one end of Well-Spring’s pool for the bi-annual Cardboard Regatta race. Family, friends, residents and team members gathered to watch this brief but thrilling 30-minute event. Each race was under five minutes, accompanied by tremendous anticipation, laughter and jawdropping reactions.

The Cardboard Regatta was introduced by Robin in 2019, just two years after she arrived. The idea was shared with her by a fellow fitness conference attendee. Once she heard about it, her high energy kicked the idea into gear and created a new, highly anticipated tradition for Well-Spring residents.

“THERE IS NO GOING BACK NOW!” ROBIN SAYS .

On off years when boats are docked in the minds of the willing, Robin offers the so-called Raingutter Races. Participants still use boats, but they are much

smaller and blown down a gutter. Like the big regatta, the event comes fully equipped with intense

Out of Nowhere by Sandra Brown - #1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown returns with a fast-paced, emotional thriller where the lives of a young mother and a high-rolling consultant collide under devastating circumstances — culminating in a desperate manhunt that will change their futures forever.

At a Texas county fair, amidst carousels and a bustling midway, children’s book author Elle Portman is enjoying a rare night out with her favorite cowboy: her two-year-old son, Charlie. But just as they’re about to head home, the unthinkable happens: a shooter opens fire into the crowd, causing widespread panic to erupt all around them.

Robert B. Parker’s Bad Influence by Alison Gaylin - Boston PI Sunny Randall investigates the dark side of social media in this exciting new thriller in the bestselling series.

Sunny Randall’s newest client, Blake, seems to have it all: he is an Instagram influencer, with all the perks the lifestyle entails—a beautiful girlfriend, wealth, and adoring fans. But one of those fans has turned ugly, and Sunny is brought on board by Blake’s manager, Bethany, to protect him and to uncover who is out to kill him. In doing so, she investigates a glamorous world rife with lies and schemes…and ties to a dangerous criminal scene.

The Omega Factor by Steve Berry - “Dan Brown fans will want to check this one out” (Publishers Weekly): The Ghent Altarpiece is the most violated work of art in the world. Thirteen times it has been vandalized, dismantled, or stolen. Why? What secrets does it hold?

Enter UNESCO investigator, Nicholas Lee, who works for the United Nations’ Cultural Liaison and Investigative Office (CLIO). Nick’s job is to protect the world’s cultural artifacts—anything and everything from countless lesser-known objects to national treasures.

The Forsaken by Ace Atkins - Mississippi sheriff Quinn Colson attempts to root out small town corruption in this gritty crime thriller in Ace Atkins’ acclaimed New York Times bestselling series. Thirty-six years ago, a nameless black man wandered into Jericho, Mississippi, with nothing but the clothes on his back and a pair of paratrooper boots.

Lee Smith’s Fair and Tender Ladies, Music by Jeff Sebens

Sunday, October 22 , 2:00 PM I FREE Event

Actress Barbara Bates Smith, noted for her Off-Broadway debut with “Ivy Rowe,” adapted from Lee Smith’s bestselling novel Fair and Tender Ladies, now celebrates her 30th year of touring this show with a performance at the Virginia Somerville Sutton Theatre on Sunday, October 22 at 2:00 p.m. Musical accompaniment is by Jeff Sebens.

“I used to be a scandal; now I’m an institution!” This quote from the novel, says Barbara, aptly describes her portrayal of this feisty mountain woman’s life of “livin’ on love,” even as she takes a stand against the coal company’s bulldozer. Author Lee Smith has said, “Barbara is Ivy Rowe! I am her most avid fan!” Of its Off-Broadway debut, The Village Voice wrote “A lifetime’s worth of sass, whoop, hurt, and reflection;” WOR Radio: “We are captivated and enthralled;” Variety: “Both funny and heartbreaking.”

A Southeastern Theatre Best Actress award winner, Barbara has played leading roles in productions of “Wit,” “Hamlet,”

“Doubt” and “August: Osage County,” among others. More information is on the actress’s website: www.barbarabatessmith.com.

What a great summer we had here at Well-Spring. I am thrilled with the positive feedback we have received regarding the changes to the Weaver Dining Room menus.

competition from the residents. “These folks are very competitive, and that’s what brings their full energy and commitment into it.”

What, exactly, is a Cardboard Regatta? Here’s how it works.

Large pieces of cardboard and rolls of duct tape are supplied to the teams. Then teams go into hiding, secretly disappearing for the next five weeks – strategizing, constructing, painting and brainstorming names for their vessels. Two teams set sail in the Aquatic Center indoor pool and wait for the whistle to blow. Playfulness combined with competitiveness makes for a great experience. It all pays off when Robin presents winners with her home-made trophies, which trigger giggles throughout the room.

Beyond the regatta event, a lot of effort goes into what Robin offers residents. Yet the fitness schedule, wellness programs, field trips and outings never slow her down.

“I simply love to teach residents. It is what I do,” she says.

Robin lives in Brown Summit with her husband and has one son, Silas, and two daughters, Elisha and Jayla, who also work at Well-Spring in Dining Services.

HEALTHCARE

Healthy Habits - tips for seniors during the flu season

Winter is a special time of year: seasonal food, quality time with family and fun celebrations to attend. But one thing that is not so fun during the holiday season – getting sick. It’s common for most people, especially older adults, to catch the common cold or flu during this time of year.

AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE - It’s natural to subconsciously touch your face throughout the day. If you are also touching doorknobs, shared handrails or other public surfaces, your fingers can pick up cold-causing bacteria and germs left behind by others. If you then rub your eyes or touch your nose or mouth, those germs enter your body and can make you sick. That’s why it’s so key to avoid touching your face after using these surfaces. Wait until you have thoroughly washed your hands.

WASH YOUR HANDS, USE HAND SANITIZER AND DISINFECTING WIPES - Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds. Wash the back of your hands, in between your fingers and underneath your nails. Remember to wash your hands before eating, cooking or preparing food.

If you don’t have access to water and soap, a pocket-sized hand sanitizer is a great way to keep your hands germ-free when you are on the go. The FDA and CDC recommends alcohol-based sanitizers that contain “at least 60 percent alcohol” to effectively kill germs.

STAY HYDRATED - The hydration in our bodies regulates body temperature, lubricates joints, flushes out waste and protects organs and tissues. Most physicians recommend drinking at least eight glasses of water. Another way to increase water consumption is to drink water or tea with your meals. A soothing chamomile tea with dinner will keep you hydrated and has been found to have antimicrobial properties that positively impact overall health.

GET ENOUGH SLEEP - Getting the appropriate amount of sleep can help your mind stay sharp, maintain smooth motor function and boost your immune system. When you’re asleep, your body rests and recharges so it can help you live an optimal lifestyle. Lack of sleep can weaken your immune system and could result in you getting sick more often. After an active day socializing with friends and participating in holiday events, remember to get an adequate amount of sleep so your body can relax and reset.

ADD VITAMINS AND MINERALS TO YOUR DIET - Vitamin C is touted as the best vitamin to help boost your body’s bacteria and virus fighting abilities. However, other supplements like vitamin B6, vitamin E, minerals like calcium and magnesium can also help prevent or fight illnesses. Vary your diet to include more vitamin and mineral rich foods like spinach, tuna and asparagus.

Kopper Top’s therapy crew brings their trained dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, and rabbits to visit the residents of Well-Spring. Deborah Meredith, Certified and Licensed Recreation Therapist and Executive Director/Founder of Kopper Top explains that “animal-assisted therapy provides unconditional love, acceptance, comfort, and companionship to individuals who miss their own pets. Petting an animal sets off a chemical chain reaction in the brain, lowering levels of cortisol and increasing production of the feel-good hormone serotonin. The result: heart rate, blood pressure and stress levels drop.” If you like furry friends, this is a must attend event!
